If your multitabling it is absolutely essential to have PT and Playerview.

When the blinds get high and your in SB and you notice BB has a VPIP of 10% it's nice to know you can push with any two.

WOW this is the question I wanted answered without knowing it!

Does this work LIVE with the tournament you're playing? Meaning, will PV and PT work together to show me that PlayerX has played seen x% flops in this game, etc?

No it's a cumulative total. So if you've played against them before, PV will show all PT stats from all previous tourneys. Pretty inaccurate if you've made it to the bubble with them a few times.

You can set the filter to only show certain blinds, certain dates, etc, if this is causing problems. I don't know how I'd use it while 4-tabling most of the time. I did use it today when 2 of the games were done and the other two were on the bubble. I pulled up the tournament time window, typed in the names of all the people left on both tables, and then sorted by PF raise %. Next time the guy with 24% raised and I had semi-decent cards, I called him down and bumped him out. Individual results may vary.

On a side note, I think the web replayer thing is much better than the replayer in PT. At least, I like it much better because it looks exactly like Party. It feels much more natural to watch games play back in the environment I'm used to. This might diminish if I spent more time using the replayer in PT, and it is nice if I'm just looking at specific hands (ie every time I was dealt AT) versus replaying a tournament.

Does PlayerView have hooks such that I can overlay my own stuff on the tables, such as the output from my own custom software?

I have some simple requirements that would only require parsing hand histories and doing minimal calculations on the dataset.

Unfortunately if you play multitable SnGs (as I do) you have mannually enter the info into poker tracker. It records the hand from multis, your place, and your winnings but not the buy-in, # of players, or fee.

check out the file pull-down window about halfway down > manual entry.

you can add all of this info into PT

Just curious, what calculations do you have on the tables from your own software?

That is true, it has not been a problem for me yet as I just moved up in levels but I will have to set a filter as I see the same people more and more.

No. It's in it's own window. That's why I'm thinking that trying to use it while 4-tabling would be hard. You'd need another monitor just for your 4 tournament windows.

[AA suited]

can you can use playerview to filter blinds >50/100? (ie: 50/100, 100/200, 150/300, etc)

or only at 1 specific blind lvl?

[hummusx]

Erg, I completely read this wrong. Somehow I missed the PlayerView part. I haven't used it much yet, so I can't really comment on it - but the whole 'separate window' thing is obviously wrong since the whole point of PlayerView is to overlay the data.
